OakCrimeData

OakCrimeData seeks to increase transparency and understanding of data released by the Oakland Police Department (OPD) regarding crime. Our current data set includes all crime incidents going back to 2007, results of Public Records requests and other data sets released by OPD and of interest to Oakland citizens.

StopData – exploring features of a 2015 data set of discretionary stops by OPD in terms of: the geographic distribution of stops across
Oakland’s 57 police beats; The race of those stopped; whether it
was a vehicle or pedestrian stopped, and stop’s result: either
leading to arrest (misdemeanor or felony) vs. some other outcome
(e.g., citation or incident report).

Neighborhood Crime Prevention Councils (NCPCs) are designated for each of Oakland’s beats to liaise with Oakland Police. Subdividing
our data at this level will enable NCPCs to notice
correlations of crime between beats and share best practices
for a community response to crime.
